[Q] ClockworkMod sdcard / cache problems - Epic 4G General

It appears that ClockworkMod doesn't want to flash roms anymore.
It seemed to start acting like this after I converted from RFS to EXT4 (to flash midNIGHT 2.4). I mean, my phone runs faster and snappier and all, but now Clockwork isn't working right.
When CWM3 starts up, I get an error like "cannot find /cache"
Clearing/wiping cache/data goes really fast, like it isn't doing anything at all
Flashing roms is the same way as above ^ (flashed midNIGHT 2.6 and checked and still was on 2.4
Just recently, I choose "update from sdcard" and it tells me it can't find the sdcard!
Did I miss something in the conversion to screw it up? Or something. Any help would be appreciated.

Please post questions in General section.

[POLL]Amon Ra or Clockwork

Was wondering which recovery everyone likes and why. Been using Ra since my G1 and I love it. (searched around for one of these and didnt see it. Mods delete if there was already one of these polls)
Amon all the way
Sent from my EVO using the Earths core to power my death ray
So...since this brought up...I see that some ROMs don't work with some recoveries? Is that correct? I swear it seems some ROMs only work with clockwork...but then I read all over that clockwork is buggy...or doesn't seem to work for everyone...or something.
I was thinking Amon Ra was the way to go.
I'll follow the answers to this one as well.

Thats true. As far as I know, there have been issues with Clockwork not wiping correctly(I know someone like that)and causing bootloops after flashing. I dont know of any roms that dont work with Ra, but I believe Rom Manager will only work with Clockwork.
Clockwork since it is compatible with ROM Manager.
Clockwork since it has a back option in the menus. It's also updated frequently.
I've been running clock on the evo. I tried putting amon in but I guess I'm too stupid cause when I tried following the directions, I borked the phone good and it took me awhile to get everything back into working order. I could flash it now with rom manager but I'm kinda afraid after the last fiasco.

I've found that using both have worked for me the best. If I'm running Fresh Rom I will use Amon Ra's but I'll use clockwork for cm6. Its so easy to jump back and forth between recoveries using rom manager its never really an issue. Either way both developers are awesome and their recoveries both have good things to offer
anyway to switch back to Amon? not feelin the Clockwork im too use to it...

i was wondering the same thing exactly!! So a few days ago i asked the question on the Cyanogen forums... I got a lot of good responses and summarized the comments on the first post... check it out here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2562-best-recovery-for-evo-to-use-with-cm6/
I haven't had one single problem with clockwork recovery.
I like the recovery originally included with toastcfl's root found here. it's very similar to Armon's (don't know if things have to be signed or not), but you use the power button to go back instead of the double-press volume (which I find annoying to do).
I just don't like clockwork as much as the other two, that's just the way it is.
Using Amon Ra because I think it's the only recovery fully compatible with DamageControl.
Not sure of the actual "differences" between it and Clockwork - can anyone clarify?

I'm using clockwork with Damage Control I've had zero problems so far.
I hate Amon recovery... always have to move my ROM downloads to the root of the SD card... forget it 90% of the time and have to reboot to fix it... and that doesn't work so well if I borked my ROM.
I use Clockwork and have zero issues unless I'm trying to autoflash theme updates and such so I have to do those manually. Otherwise no complaints. And no signing issues with Clockwork either.
Amon_RA's recovery FTW!
Well, since rooting 24 hours ago, I've been using Clockwork via recovery boot (not through ROM Manager) and it's worked flawlessly so far. Backed up my rooted stock setup, flashed Fresh, DC, CM6, and then back to Fresh, wiped between every flash, and I've had no problems. Even flashed some Fresh Tweaks in the recovery boot. I actually flashed Amon Ra to see how I liked it . . . and I didn't. Mostly just navigating was a pain with the volume up+down thing, everything else seems like a wash. My only question is whether the Dalvik cache is really being wiped by Clockwork, since it takes half a second to complete when I select the option. I'm going to test it in a few minutes here.
Going to give Baked Snack a run for a while, we'll see how that holds up.
I have wondered that for awhile, silver. It may sound stupid but at least a confirmation in the log messages below would be nice.

Okay, I decided to test. Fired up ADB and booted into recovery from Android. Mounted /data and looked inside /data/dalvik-cache. There was a long list of .dex files. Then I unmounted /data and used the Clockwork menu to wipe the Dalvik-cache (this option is located under the "advanced" menu, NOT just the "wipe cache" option). Re-mounted /data and looked inside . . . and the dalvik-cache directory was gone. It took *slightly* longer than normal when I actually hit the button to wipe it (more like .7 seconds instead of .5), but it does appear that my Clockwork v2.5.0.1 is wiping dalvik just fine. And, of course, when I rebooted back into Android (rooted .6 stock at the moment) it took a long time to boot at the 4G screen, as the cache was being rebuilt. Once I was back in, I checked the /data directory again and dalvik-cache was back and full of .dex files again.
So there. No more speculating, just science.
And if you're ever worried about it, you can just use ADB to wipe the dalvik-cache yourself:
Code:
adb shell
mount /data
rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*
Then you can use the Clockwork menu to wipe everything else and flash your ROM. These three commands actually just delete everything inside the dalvik-cache directory, whereas Clockwork appears to remove the directory entirely. Doesn't really matter either way, the system will replace the directory if it gets deleted.
Mmm . . . terminal code.

So is there a way to get a 600mhz step in the kernal for bonsai 4.0 last i heard he was going t put it in back in 3.0.1 but still not there. Or is there an easy way to included it in the kernal page file or something that set cpu uses? Also is there a way to get the voodoo color fix or a tweak that works that will make the brightness lower at the lowest setting for 4.0 becase the brightness on this screen is way to brght at night time. I used to have a tweak like this in syndicate rom for 2.1 it was great. Any info would be great thanks guys.

I installed bonsai 4.0.0.1 and it flashed fine, then it tried to restart and got stuck at the samsung boot screen, would not go past that.
So I battery pulled and tried to install another rom (verion 4) and it had an error in CW installing,
Then I tried installing a rom I have used before (epic experience) and CW would not install that one either.
So I used Odin to go back to stock everything and then unlocked it and now I am on a stock rom rooted.
Why do you think it is hanging there? I am scared to flash again as I think it will do the same? But if the forum needs the exact error msg I will install it again as I really want to get this rom working.

I can't remember what stepping is on the kernel as we have been beta testing 4.0.1 and have been mainly dealing with a new setCPU governor called interactive. Were also still working on the other governor called smartass as well. I think that the stepping goes directly from 400 to 800, but we are always looking to go faster and with better battery life. I'll bug Randy and Mammon about it.
The sound will be Voodoo version 7, but I don't think the Voodoo color fix is going to make it into 4.0.1. Sorry, but we can't do everything...at least not all at the same time.

Did I see a similar post on the Bonsai website earlier today? I just want to verify that you were using CWM 3.0.0.6 as anything else will cause problems like that. Also when you get to these kinds of problems you should attempt a second flash of Bonsai before going to the trouble of a ODIN job. A second flash seems to fix a whole variety of odd kind of problems.
As you can imagine with all the beta testing I do I'm always finding ways to corrupt my phone. Some days I have managed to bork it 3-5 times.
I decided to test out today a 4.0.1 install directly from DI18 > CWM 3.0.0.6 > Bonsai 4.0.1 full rom. It went great with no problems at all and running just fine, so far
I think that is my problem, I am using a the CW that came with the one click unroot.
So I guess I need to do this, even if I am already rooted?

Do not use Rom Manager to be installing the beta CWM files. The correct way is with one of the 1 step CWM tools in the development forum. 3.0.2.4 is half-finished and is very difficult even to navigate through the various menu's. I know this because I tried out that CWM version for some grins one day. It will majorly screw your Epic if your not extremely careful. When DI18 was prevalent Rom Manager worked great to root your phone. When we started the move into the Froyo roms Rom Manager quit working and that is why the 1 click then became more prevalent.
Just follow the directions posted all over the place and Bonsai will install just fine and you will be a happy camper.
I am installing it now after updating to CW3 (from CW2.5) . I think it will come out fine now, I am an idiot and didn't realize the original one click root installed an older version of CW.

I loaded the EC05 stock from Odin as I still dont have a grasp on EXT4 file system.
last thing I tried was cw3.0.0.6 and loaded Bonsai and it installed, just hung at samsung screen. might be a corrupt rom file.
1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

CWM3 will convert your filesystem to ext4 the first time you boot into it. It won't touch the sdcard so that won't be converted. After CWM is finished with the conversion, do not reboot the phone, you will then flash Bonsai.

After flashing the boot script of cwm 3.0.0.6 you then have to power off. Then hold down the camera button, vol down, and power keys at the same time and the EXT4 script will automatically start to format your system. Please keep in mind that it is not formatting the SD card, but only the read only memory of the phone.
After you finished a few beers it will be done and will drop you back to cwm. Do not reboot, but flash bonsai. After bonsai is finished then reboot.

Hi,
I guess in your frustrated mood, like many before you, you also need a dedicated, special confirmation that you're not an exception to the rule, and just reading "if this and that - your phone is screwed" doesn't work for you. So I'll honor your feelings by writing it 10000th time again.
Look at Glacier Wiki, section "Troubleshooting". Or at the topmost sticky in General section. Or in Q&A. Or search for any part of the error message you're getting. You'll receive the same reply:
If you flash PD15IMG and it either doesn't complete or shows you Fail-PU on one of the partitions - YOUR PHONE IS DEAD, AND THERE IS NO WAY BACK.
Have you tried wiping dalvik and cache and rebooting recovery? Make sure you unmount cache also. My phone did this before too, and that's what I did to fix.

Lost in the myriad of rooting options

I've finally lost patience with my TF101 boot looping and being flat when I come to use it. Asus clearly aren't in a rush to fix it, and I can't find an alternative tablet that I'm happy to replace it with right now, so I've decided to give guevor's version a go.
The problem being that I've read a load of threads on rooting a TF, but still haven't come to a conclusion on which method actually works for a WW one on 9.2.1.17, if there even is one!
So any chance some one could help me out and point me in the right direction? Thanks
Use Vipermod to root. Search the forum for link.
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Just wanna check my list with you experienced guys before getting stuck in, mostly because it's been a while since I did anything like this and I can't find a thorough guide for the whole process.
1. Root with vipermod.
2. Install ROM manager from the market and use to flash CWM recovery.
3. Boot into CWM recovery and make backup.
4. Copy kernel .zip file to storage of the TF.
5. Boot into CWM recovery and select install .zip option.
6. Enjoy new kernel and hope for no more bootloop/flat battery scenarios making me angry?
Correct, except you shouldn't use apps like Rom Manager to do things that you can easily do yourself. Don't blindly flash whatever Rom Manager tells you to because sometimes it will screw up your tablet. Haven't you read all these threads about people having problems because of ROM manager?
Just use the recovery installer apk by Gnufabio. It will flash a slightly outdated CWM but it works without problems and you can update it yourself by downloading and flashing a newer CWM posted on this forum.
I can confirm viper for root, and gnufabio recovery installer.apk. I just went through the process last night. If you do not use gnufabio you will spend hours trying to get cwm on your device, and failing.(2 hours of dead androids in recovery) wish i had seen gnufabio sooner.
Edit: also theres a remixed viper out there supposed to be a 1 click root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534475 is the link
Also i suggest the touch cwm from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
It works very well and all touch so no need to press physical buttons.
Thanks for the input guys, it's very much appreciated.
I haven't seen the threads on problems with ROM manager. I've just been searching for specific terms and TBH I find this forum generally difficult to find up to date information. It's very time consuming searching and reading lots of nothing posts. The TF info threads have a lot of links to outdated guides (or ones that lack detail as they assume you know everything already ) and a lot of the shortened terminology that's used is confusing unless you visit here. I've read as much as I can, but I wanted to be sure I had the right information before trying out something that could render my tablet useless.
Typical, fallen at the first hurdle!
"hold volume down and power for 3 seconds, let go of power only, then press volume up when prompted on screen" just results in a screen with an Android with a red triangle on his chest. More extensive searching needed I suppose.
lol nope this is my problem i told you about in earlier post
get the recoveryinstall.apk by gnufabio install it on your tf and run it. it installs a working cwm then you can do the touch cwm,kernel rom etc after that

I ALWAYS do a full wipe, dalvik cache the lot when flashing a different ROM, if you're just flashing a new kernel no need for wipe data just dalvik cache
Thanks for the reply. I found some posts last night where peeps were not wiping anything so I just flashed the 16b test kernel. Seems to be all OK so far.

Thank you very much for those links...yes, those were apks. I have been looking for those links for sometime.
flashed the RecoveryInstaller.apk, giving me a recovery system to work from, now Im restored, rooted, ROMd and OC'd...thanks for the links!!
Since rooting mine, flashing the 16b kernel and OCing to 1600mhz it's been completely stable and fast. I just hope that continues!
Thanks everyone for your kindly assistance.
